installed and are operating as firewalls with Gentoox and iptables, squid,

will have trouble with the memory size.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

- it's not. In particular, if you get a ver 1.6 box you will be hard
pressed to get Linux installed. Be prepared to spend $ on a boot chip, a
replacement DVD drive (unless you are lucky to get one of the samsung drives),
an upgraded hard disk (10gb doesn't hold a lot of voice mail),
etc.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
